There’s a canvas on the easel It’s stretched tightly and held fast Across it’s textured surface In unseen shadows, shapes are cast. The artist holds his palette Stained with oils from yesterday With new paint squeezed from tubes Arranged there, in a special way. On a shelf beside the easel Lay brushes, paint, a knife Some cleaner for those instruments To bring that canvas to life. . With creative wheels turning And a love for what he does The talent of that artist Transforms that cloth from what it was. With the power of the mind And sure strokes from steady hand Shapes and forms start to appear Into the beauty which was planned. Then, through that labor of love Framed and hanging on some wall There’ll be another masterpiece To bring great pleasure to us all. Del "Abe" Jones |

Abe this is a lovely tribute to an awesome artist. If I am correct and have the right Bob Ross...he passed away in 1995. Such a loss, but his artistry lives on. Be well, Chris Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance. |

Aw man, I loved that guy, miss him greatly! Bob always talked about happy little trees, happy little bushes....said we could put them wherever we wanted, there are no mistakes.... Thanks Abe, for honoring one of my favorite TV teachers. |
